‘FIFA is a healthy, clean and transparent organisation with nothing to hide. There is huge public interest in FIFA, therefore we have to be as transparent as possible. We will try to communicate in a more open way so the world can believe us and be proud of their federation.’

FIFA General Secretary Urs Linsi, January 2003, on fifa.com

Brazil Fans Honour Andrew

FIFA bans me, Blatter’s spindoctors denigrate me privately to gullible reporters – but the fans of Internacional know who they can trust!

Gosh – it’s a really professional job! Thanks guys.

‘Fora Teixeira’ – ‘Teixeira out’ banners the same day. Similar protests now occur at clubs across Brazil.
